Recital 7
(7) Solid investigation results show that 8% of thetudies of accidents involving motorcycles are caused by or linked to technical defects. Motorcycle riders are the group of road users with the highest safety risk, with rising trend in the number of fatal yield widely differing results. It is recognised that, in general, motorcycle riders maintain their vehicle properly, with few accidents relating to the vehicle’s mechanical conditieson. Moped drivers are overrepresented in the number of fatalities, with more than 1,400 drivers killed on the roads in 2008. The scope of vehicles to be tested shall therefore be extended to the highest risk group of road users, the powered two- or three-wheel vehicles.
